Atari: Witchers, RPGs, Cooks, and … Deer Hunters

6:00AM Maggie Greene | 3:55 PM, the LA Convention Centre. Everyone is tired, and you can see the media room starting to slow down — people wander by with exhausted expressions on their faces, looking at their watches and lighting up when they realise there’s not much left in the day. Even Crecente has passed the point of being totally with it, pausing in the middle of sentences to stare off into space. I shuffle off to check out Atari’s E3 offerings, and am met with a surprisingly cheerful staff who point me in the direction of caffeine. I am not caffeinated enough to face a spiel on Deer Hunter Tournament, so I’m sat down to await a demonstration of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. I hear something about transport options from the person enthusiastically imbibing what the Deer Hunter guy is saying — ‘Oh cool, so you’re planning on having like, ATVs and stuff?’ — and am glad I’m parked in front of The Witcher instead of one screen over.

New Neverwinter Nights 2 Expansion In Development

10:30PM Luke Plunkett | It’s been quietly (very quietly) announced that a new expansion pack for classic PC title Neverwinter Nights 2 is in development at Obsidian. Called Storm of Zehir, it brings some pretty considerable changes to the game, like “full party customisation, dungeon crawling, and free exploration of a non-linear game world via an Overland Map”. No idea on a release date, but seeing as the game’s nearly three years old, I’m sure you can wait it out. NX2 Anunciada: Storm of Zehir [Neverwintos, via IGN] More »
